Hello, I've been a reader of this forum quite a long time by now and finally made my registration here.
Yesterday I got a double breasted overcoat from a thrift charity place nearby. It cost me almost nothing, it has some moth holes and the lining is torned at some places but as a collector I got it anyway to have a closer look to it at home.
One thing brought my attention, the coat has a internal strap instead of the regular inner button found in all db jackets and coats. That button is placed outside the coat instead. Anyone has seen this stuff? Also it has a blue velvet lining at the front hand pockets
I don't know if I'll keep the coat yet since it is not fitting the way I like. At first I tought that this coat could be from the 50s since it is clearly not a 60s or 70s design but now I'm starting to think that it might be a 80s coat (I really despise 80s and 90s designs). The coat measures 54cm pit to pit and I'm a 36-38 chest so it is too roomy for my taste, also it a has a really straight cut at the waist and hips and I prefer more shaped slim panel cuts like edwardian/victorian or late 60s designs since they have a more supressed waist and are wider down the hips. Any guess about the age of this coat?
Best regards.
